No Clues as 10 the cause OF q
Murder.

Tucson, A. T., March 2l.-Word was
received here this morning that Con
RYAN was murdered on Saturday night
or Sunday morning. at his ranch few
miles below Crittenden, near the old
Flux Mine Switch. No particulars are
given, and nothing further has been
learned concerning the crime. Sheriff
Shaw left here by team this morning,
and will arrive at Ryan's house about 10
o'clock tonight. Those who are familiar
with the parties and the locality express
only one possible solution of the cause
Of the crime-that it is the elimination
of an old feud, arising out of a suspicion
that the deceased was in some way re-
sponsible for the death of his former
partner, who was killed at his house
about two years ago. No other motive
can be conceived for the murder.

Blaine In Scotland.

CHICAGO, Julyl9.-A cable to the News
from Bridge of Earn says: Mr.. Blaine
has been pressed to attend the Parnell
banquet next Wednesday. The political
magnificence of the event is anticipated
by gorgeous circular signed by seven
ty-three Giadstonian members, in which
they say they have decided to express
their sympathy for the Irish people and
their representatives of this trying peri
cd of their national history. Mr.. Blaine
has received one of those letters, and
letters from three Irish members, urg-
ing him to be present. He said yester-
day he thought he would leave his fami-
ly here and run down to London Tues
day night. While at Dunfermline he
was interviewed by an Edinburgh edi-
tor, to whom he said he was delighted at
the prospect held out by many polite
ians here that the Gladstonians would
sweep the boards at the next general
election in Scotland.

ing more and better goods than ever
before and we have the best, most
skilled mechanics that money can
hire. We feel confident the people
OF this locality are interested in build
ing up, encouraging and patronizing
home manufactures in case they can
get as much or more for their money
than elsewhere, and we know that in
order for us to merit their patronage,
we can't do it on goods made as
cheap as possible, but as good as can
be and at prices as low as the quality
of the work can be afforded. We
produce open and top buggies and
carriages of all styles, Spring Wagons,
&c.
We also keep in stock large line
of eastern factory work. Our know
ledge of the buggy business is such
that enables US to judge as to what
manufacturers produce the best goods,
so that we know what we are selling

Habit Of = Kothschiid.

One very warm summers day, when
Baron Anselm was entertaining some
friends at dinner, a window directly oppo-
site his seat happened to be Enclosed.
Through the aperture just left there pres
emily came flying, during the dessert, a
packet, so well aimed that it fell right
upon the baron's plate. The guests were
not unnaturally astonished, but Anselm
Mayer quietly felt in his pocket, took out
a gold piece and put it in the cover of the
still unopened letter, which he returned
with the same celebrity and by the same
way it had come. This novel and unique
mode of bestowing charity was highly ap-
preciated by his guests. Rothschild, how
ever, was not satisfied; he could not feel
easy until he knew what had become of
the letter and its contents. Apologizing,
therefore, to the company, he asked per-
mission to rise o moment. He then adj
vanced to the open window, leaned out
and returned, evidently satisfied and
happy, saying half audibly, ''placirt. - It
is interesting to know how solicitious the
wealthy financier was, from force of habit,
to know whether even such trifle as that
which he had just given away had been
